• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Hmm...if I can, I try to get away from the situation and stay away until my head is on straight. My natural instinct is to run my mouth.
So getting away from the fuel for teh fire is the best thing for me.
Now as far as dealing with anger inside...that's a good question.
I've dealt with some of it, some of it...I don't know what to do with. To a point, it makes me who I am.
Hmm...*Mr.Cheese ponders*

i hurt mysef...

better then hurting sumone else, isn't it?

that and i cuss a lot, but then i cuss alot on a good day too. i got a sailor's potty mouth.

healthy ways to cope, and me don't mix well. but i do give it a try..sumtimes..

i paint. i use the color crimson red alot. and make long, red slashes across the canvas paper. i luv warcolor, butif i try to paint like a portrait, and it isn't perfect, i have a cow, and tear it up, and cut..

i dance. it helps me concentrate and focus on my steps, and music. but my ankles r too weak. and i usually end up twisting em, or sumthing which frustrates me, and leads to cutting...

i shred things to pieces. pictures, journal entries, letters, bills, etc. tho it never fails, i get a paper cut from it...which'll trigger me to cut afterwrds...

i go for a run. cept i've had a minor heart attack already, and with already weak ankles, i get angry at myself fast..my frustration lead to...yup u quessed it. u seeing the pattern here? err

if all else fails, i take up yoga. can't go wrong there. i feel better afterwards, calmer, relaxed...it seems to help a lot.

what bout u?

I hit things, ....i should make myself clear here shouldnt I , i hit things like doors and stuff, never people hehe , (ive just made my self sound like a Psyco haven't I )

i find the best way to get out of an anger situation is to try and worship god!, as soon as you can get the worship mindset in place, my anger goes away!

The only time I tend to get meen or angry, is when I am at work. The people here arnt christiand and we clash horribly. Also there are people that work here that I sweart dont have a brain and it frustrates me. What I usually [try] to do is walk away from the situation, but I just cant get up and leave work. Thats why I have been praying for a new job wich looks like it MIGHT be comming thru for me... anyways.

Or I go to the gym and work out... run full speed on the treadmill for an hour or so... I am almost dead when I am done, I dont even have time to htink about what I was mad at!!

It seems a lot of people hurt themselves when they are angry. I wish I could say I never did but I have. I have never hurt myself again ever since the day I came to Christ. I pray that all of you that hurt themselves when they are angry will find an alternative to feeling better.

What I usually do is go into my room and blast my music. Okay maybe not blast but I usually play my music and lay down on my bed until I feel better. Sometimes I cry and even curse silently to myself. Cursing is one of the last things I want to go to. But at times it makes me feel better. I have no clue why but it does. It's better than physicly hurting myself like I used to.

God I pray that you will all find the strength and wisdom you need.

I rant and rant and rant. Journal entries, the works. I run. I walk around my room with my headphones on full blast and just daydream. I used to cut or smoke when I was upset, but I havn't done that in a while. You people who cut need to seek professional help and hand your habbit over to God. Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit and He cares about you.

when i get angry,i usually run my mouth until i realize i need to get away from the situation.as far as coping......dreamcatcher hasn't quite learned that trick yet.I have a real anger problem.at one point my anger was so bad that not only did it scared my wife and kids,it scared me.and don't worry,there was no physical abuse involved.amazingly,that is the ONE thing dreamcatcher learned to avoid through all of his anger.
